Grooming your horse daily is very important. But it is also important how to correctly and safely stake the horse to the cleaning area to make sure it doesn't run away while grooming it. There are different knots how the horse can be staked at the cleaning area. Some are very easy to do others take some practice. You have to know, that some knots are better in dangerous situations than others. Knots that can be opened up again quickly make it easier to let the horse free in dangerous situations. This is important to prevent the horse from starting to panic and strangulating itself and to prevent the rider from getting hurt in the heat of the situation. It is also important to use a proper length of the rope when staking the horse. As usually, too long or too tight both can be harmful.
